Miley Cyrus Just Shut Down 'Rude' Pregnancy Rumors
Yesterday wasn’t just Thanksgiving: It was Miley Cyrus‘ 25th birthday. Her fianceé, Liam Hemsworth, by the way, was on it with a very sparkly, very Miley necklace spelling out “LiLi”—her nickname for him—in shiny cursive and glittering colored stones.
But Miley wasn’t quite able to celebrate in peace, thanks to the Internet. Our culture as a whole is pretty obsessed with trying to figure out if our favorite celebs are expecting or not—to the point of mania (Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian come to mind). And it’s actually pretty gross to constantly be dissecting photos and trying to analyze whether a woman’s body looks pregnant or not. But the Internet cares not, and the most latest feeding frenzy focused on a recent photo the singer posted to Instagram.
At first glance, it’s just a (very famous) woman and her celebratory balloons getting psyched for her big birthday. She was dressed super casually in a long grey top and sans pants, as you do when you’re just chilling at home (and if you look very, very closely, there’s a Liam chilling between two of the balloons, just over her head).
Based on what commenters believed to be photographic evidence of a new Cyrus-Hemsworth project known as a “baby,” things soon spiraled into pregnancy-rumor mania—especially on Twitter, where Miley had also posted the picture.

One thing we love about Miley is that when she’s got something to say, she’s just going to come right at and say the damn thing. With one simple tweet, she shut the whole circus down and called it for what it was, “RUDE!!!”. So no, Miley is decidedly not pregnant. She just ate “shit ton” (by her own estimate) of Tofurkey because she’s human, and it was Thanksgiving.
A girl should be able to eat all the Tofurkey she wants to without sparking a deep dive on her appearance. But let’s all take a break from paying such ridiculously close attention to women’s ever-changing bodies. She’s just being Miley.
